Superb and very "modern" even though first published in 1933

The editor's introduction and the chapters "Is Religion Possible With Sufism" and "The Spiritual Experiences" are absolute gems. The chapters "Conceptions of Sufism" and "Reality of Existence" are rather difficult. Overall, a superb work by the father of Idries Shah, Omar Ali-Shah, and Amina Shah. Definitely not for mushy, sentimental, overly emotional, inflexible zealots.
